Putin warned German residents of Germany against praising the Nazis

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned German citizens against praising the Nazis. He told about this on May 4, his words are quoted in the documentary "Russia. Kremlin. Putin." 25 years" of the Rossiya TV channel.

He commented on the statements of Western politicians who are trying to humiliate former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, but at the same time applaud the Nazis.

"And so that I can be heard in Germany, I'll try to say it even in German: the further away from Schroeder, the closer to Anthony Roth (Speaker of the Canadian Parliament. — Ed.), who sympathizes with the Nazis," Putin said in German, answering a question from journalist Pavel Zarubin that they tried to keep the ex—chancellor away from the current acting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at official events so that they would not be in the same frame.

According to Putin, there are many decent people living in Germany. He expressed confidence that they would hear him. The Russian President also recalled how in September 2023, the Canadian parliament held a celebration of 98-year-old Ukrainian Nazi Yaroslav Gunko.
